Parse the mem_encrypt= command line parameter from the EFI stub if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT=y, so that it can be passed to the early boot code by the arch code in the stub. This avoids the need for the core kernel to do any string parsing very early in the boot.

The secondary startup code is used on the primary boot path as well, but in this case, the initial part runs from a 1:1 mapping, until an explicit cross-jump is made to the kernel virtual mapping of the same code. On the secondary boot path, this jump is pointless as the code already executes from the mapping targeted by the jump. So combine this cross-jump with the jump from startup_64() into the common boot path. This simplifies the execution flow, and clearly separates code that runs from a 1:1 mapping from code that runs from the kernel virtual mapping. Note that this requires a page table switch, so hoist the CR3 assignment into startup_64() as well. And since absolute symbol references will no longer be permitted in .head.text once we enable the associated build time checks, a RIP-relative memory operand is used in the JMP instruction, referring to an absolute constant in the .init.rodata section. Given that the secondary startup code does not require a special placement inside the executable, move it to the .text section.

Determining the address of the initial page table to program into CR3 involves: - taking the physical address - adding the SME encryption mask On the primary entry path, the code is mapped using a 1:1 virtual to physical translation, so the physical address can be taken directly using a RIP-relative LEA instruction. On the secondary entry path, the address can be obtained by taking the offset from the virtual kernel base (__START_kernel_map) and adding the physical kernel base. This is implemented in a slightly confusing way, so clean this up.

Assigning the 5-level paging related global variables from the earliest C code using explicit references that use the 1:1 translation of memory is unnecessary, as the startup code itself does not rely on them to create the initial page tables, and this is all it should be doing. So defer these assignments to the primary C entry code that executes via the ordinary kernel virtual mapping.

When paging is enabled, the CR4.PAE and CR4.LA57 control bits cannot be changed, and so they can simply be preserved rather than reason about whether or not they need to be set. CR4.MCE should be preserved unless the kernel was built without CONFIG_X86_MCE, in which case it must be cleared. CR4.PSE should be set explicitly, regardless of whether or not it was set before. CR4.PGE is set explicitly, and then cleared and set again after programming CR3 in order to flush TLB entries based on global translations. This makes the first assignment redundant, and can therefore be omitted. So clear PGE by omitting it from the preserve mask, and set it again explicitly after switching to the new page tables.

There are two code paths in the startup code to program an IDT: one that runs from the 1:1 mapping and one that runs from the virtual kernel mapping. Currently, these are strictly separate because fixup_pointer() is used on the 1:1 path, which will produce the wrong value when used while executing from the virtual kernel mapping. Switch to RIP_REL_REF() so that the two code paths can be merged. Also, move the GDT and IDT descriptors to the stack so that they can be referenced directly, rather than via RIP_REL_REF(). Rename startup_64_setup_env() to startup_64_setup_gdt_idt() while at it, to make the call from assembler self-documenting.

Pull RCU pathwalk fixes from Al Viro: "We still have some races in filesystem methods when exposed to RCU pathwalk. This series is a result of code audit (the second round of it) and it should deal with most of that stuff. Still pending: ntfs3 ->d_hash()/->d_compare() and ceph_d_revalidate(). Up to maintainers (a note for NTFS folks - when documentation says that a method may not block, it *does* imply that blocking allocations are to be avoided. Really)" [ More explanations for people who aren't familiar with the vagaries of RCU path walking: most of it is hidden from filesystems, but if a filesystem actively participates in the low-level path walking it needs to make sure the fields involved in that walk are RCU-safe. That "actively participate in low-level path walking" includes things like having its own ->d_hash()/->d_compare() routines, or by having its own directory permission function that doesn't just use the common helpers. Having a ->d_revalidate() function will also have this issue. Note that instead of making everything RCU safe you can also choose to abort the RCU pathwalk if your operation cannot be done safely under RCU, but that obviously comes with a performance penalty. One common pattern is to allow the simple cases under RCU, and abort only if you need to do something more complicated. So not everything needs to be RCU-safe, and things like the inode etc that the VFS itself maintains obviously already are. But these fixes tend to be about properly RCU-delaying things like ->s_fs_info that are maintained by the filesystem and that got potentially released too early. - Linus ] * tag 'pull-fixes.pathwalk-rcu-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: ext4_get_link(): fix breakage in RCU mode cifs_get_link(): bail out in unsafe case fuse: fix UAF in rcu pathwalks procfs: make freeing proc_fs_info rcu-delayed procfs: move dropping pde and pid from ->evict_inode() to ->free_inode() nfs: fix UAF on pathwalk running into umount nfs: make nfs_set_verifier() safe for use in RCU pathwalk afs: fix __afs_break_callback() / afs_drop_open_mmap() race hfsplus: switch to rcu-delayed unloading of nls and freeing ->s_fs_info exfat: move freeing sbi, upcase table and dropping nls into rcu-delayed helper affs: free affs_sb_info with kfree_rcu() rcu pathwalk: prevent bogus hard errors from may_lookup() fs/super.c: don't drop ->s_user_ns until we free struct super_block itself

NFS ->d_revalidate(), ->permission() and ->get_link() need to access some parts of nfs_server when called in RCU mode: server->flags server->caps *(server->io_stats) and, worst of all, call server->nfs_client->rpc_ops->have_delegation (the last one - as NFS_PROTO(inode)->have_delegation()). We really don't want to RCU-delay the entire nfs_free_server() (it would have to be done with schedule_work() from RCU callback, since it can't be made to run from interrupt context), but actual freeing of nfs_server and ->io_stats can be done via call_rcu() just fine. nfs_client part is handled simply by making nfs_free_client() use kfree_rcu().

nfs_set_verifier() relies upon dentry being pinned; if that's the case, grabbing ->d_lock stabilizes ->d_parent and guarantees that ->d_parent points to a positive dentry. For something we'd run into in RCU mode that is *not* true - dentry might've been through dentry_kill() just as we grabbed ->d_lock, with its parent going through the same just as we get to into nfs_set_verifier_locked(). It might get to detaching inode (and zeroing ->d_inode) before nfs_set_verifier_locked() gets to fetching that; we get an oops as the result. That can happen in nfs{,4} ->d_revalidate(); the call chain in question is nfs_set_verifier_locked() <- nfs_set_verifier() <- nfs_lookup_revalidate_delegated() <- nfs{,4}_do_lookup_revalidate(). We have checked that the parent had been positive, but that's done before we get to nfs_set_verifier() and it's possible for memory pressure to pick our dentry as eviction candidate by that time. If that happens, back-to-back attempts to kill dentry and its parent are quite normal. Sure, in case of eviction we'll fail the ->d_seq check in the caller, but we need to survive until we return there...

In __afs_break_callback() we might check ->cb_nr_mmap and if it's non-zero do queue_work(&vnode->cb_work). In afs_drop_open_mmap() we decrement ->cb_nr_mmap and do flush_work(&vnode->cb_work) if it reaches zero. The trouble is, there's nothing to prevent __afs_break_callback() from seeing ->cb_nr_mmap before the decrement and do queue_work() after both the decrement and flush_work(). If that happens, we might be in trouble - vnode might get freed before the queued work runs. __afs_break_callback() is always done under ->cb_lock, so let's make sure that ->cb_nr_mmap can change from non-zero to zero while holding ->cb_lock (the spinlock component of it - it's a seqlock and we don't need to mess with the counter).

If lazy call of ->permission() returns a hard error, check that try_to_unlazy() succeeds before returning it. That both makes life easier for ->permission() instances and closes the race in ENOTDIR handling - it is possible that positive d_can_lookup() seen in link_path_walk() applies to the state *after* unlink() + mkdir(), while nd->inode matches the state prior to that. Normally seeing e.g. EACCES from permission check in rcu pathwalk means that with some timings non-rcu pathwalk would've run into the same; however, running into a non-executable regular file in the middle of a pathname would not get to permission check - it would fail with ENOTDIR instead.
